My son’s birthday is a month after Christmas. I struggle with gift suggestions for him, I hate having a house filled with toys that he will play with one or video games. Big items on the list he created included anything Pokemon and Skylanders. He’s also in Cub Scouts so his first BB gun and archery set is on his list. I’ve encouraged our family to purchase STEM toys for Gabe because he really enjoys math and science projects. Here are a few of great STEM Toys for Young Children that I’ve discovered during my quest to find gifts or gift suggestions for Gabe.

While we were at Beaches Moms we were given a Love2Learn Elmo toy, and Gabe was so very excited despite being outside the suggested age range. We’ve always watched Sesame Street, but Gabe really fell in love the the characters while attending Beaches Moms in Turks and Caicos the previous year. The Sesame Street characters are a big part of Beaches Resorts. The offer several activities that feature Sesame Street characters such as the Kids Camp, Sesame Street Breakfast, performances, exclusive photo ops, and goodnight/tuck-in. He love meeting all the characters and his experiences at Beaches Turks and Caicos made them “real” to him. Here are a few reasons why I think Love2Learn Elmo would be a great holiday gift this year and why it made my 2016 Holiday Gift Guide.

My son tends to get bored with toys and games quickly unless they allow him to use his imagination. I couldn’t contain his excitement when I received WowWee CHiP and WowWee COJI along with Duracell batteries to help power them. They definitely made our Hot Holiday Toys list this year and you can read more to find out why.

This Pie Face Showdown!: Family Game Night Review post was sponsored by Hasbro as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Shortly after the Pie Face! game came out last year, we had trouble finding it anywhere; my son begged for it and it took a few weeks to find one. I can’t image anything more fun than being able to fling whipped cream into the face of a family member or friend during family game night. This year Hasbro has upped the ante, and made the game much more competitive. Pie Face Showdown! is set to be released in stores and online at HasbroToyShop.com October 1, 2016. The game consists of battling an opponent to see who can press the button the quickest and fling whipped cream in their face. You can check out my son’s first YouTube video review below as we battle it out playing Pie Face Showdown!.
